Background: Cranial defects from trauma, surgery, or congenital conditions require precise reconstruction to restore cranial vault integrity. Autogenous calvarial grafts are preferred for their histocompatibility and biomechanical properties, but their success depends on a well-developed diploic space. Although prior studies have described overall skull thickness development, less is known about how diploic thickness changes through adulthood.

Background: Epidemiological studies associate an increase in breast cancer risk, particularly triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), with lack of breastfeeding. This is more prevalent in African American women, with significantly lower rate of breastfeeding compared to Caucasian women. Prolonged breastfeeding leads to gradual involution (GI), whereas short-term or lack of breastfeeding leads to abrupt involution (AI) of the breast.

Objective: Proton spot-scanning arc therapy (ARC) is an emerging modality that can improve the high-dose conformity to targets compared with standard intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT). However, the efficient treatment delivery of ARC is challenging due to the required frequent energy changes during the continuous gantry rotation. This work proposes a novel method that delivers a multiple IMPT (multi-IMPT) plan that is equivalent to ARC in terms of biologically effective dose (BED).

Study Design: A retrospective study.

Objective: The Markowitz-Manson classification system categorizes nasoorbitoethmoid (NOE) fractures by severity of injury and remaining integrity of the medial canthal tendon. However, this system does not account for direction of bony displacement (in-fracture vs out-fracture), which can greatly affect symptomatology and management.

MoCT MXene materials, known for their high conductivity and abundant surface functional groups, are widely utilized as electrode materials in supercapacitors. However, their tendency to stack during electrochemical energy storage hinders their performance. The in situ growth of nanorod-shaped Ni,Co bimetallic metal-organic frameworks (Ni,Co-MOF) on MoCT MXene effectively mitigates this stacking.

An 11-year-old patient presented with the primary complaint of hematuria and vomiting. On further investigation and a series of diagnostic tests, including a biopsy and thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) profile, the patient was diagnosed with thrombotic microangiopathy. TMA is a pathological process involving endothelial cell injury, leading to thrombocytopenia and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia.

Background And Purpose: Anterior palatal reconstruction using vomer flaps has been described during primary cleft lip repair. In this procedure, the mucoperiosteal tissue of the vomer is elevated to reconstruct the nasal mucosa overlying the cleft of the hard palate. Here the authors, evaluate the efficacy of a technique in which a superiorly based vomer flap is sutured to the lateral nasal mucosa.

Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most frequent solid tumor in pediatric cases, contributing to around 15% of childhood cancer-related deaths. The wide-ranging genetic, morphological, and clinical diversity within NB complicates the success of current treatment methods. Acquiring an in-depth understanding of genetic alterations implicated in the development of NB is essential for creating safer and more efficient therapies for this severe condition.

Understanding the nanoscale elastic-size-effects of atomically thin transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) as a function of thickness underpins the avenue of flexible 2D electronics. In this work, we employed the atomic force acoustic microscopy (AFAM) technique to investigate the thickness-dependent elastic properties of CVD grown 2H-MoS films. The monolayer MoS exhibited a Young's modulus of 273 ± 27 GPa.

Background Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation is pivotal in the evaluation of kidney donors. There are various methods available for assessing GFR, but there has been a lack of consensus on the measurement of GFR and the frequency of renal evaluation after kidney donation. Our study aims to analyze the measured GFR (m-GFR) before and three months after kidney donation and note the compensatory abilities of the remnant kidney in live related kidney donors.

Background Diabetic nephropathy is one of the important causes of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Of the various cytokines playing a role in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy, transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1) is an important one. Its major role is to mediate extracellular matrix deposition.

Vascular malformations (VM) are structural malformations of vascular development causing soft-tissue abnormality with functional and esthetic impairment. They are named by their predominant vessel type as arterial, venous, lymphatic, or mixed types. VM extending from the inguinoscrotal to the thoracic region are extremely rare presentation.

Objective: In April 2021, the US government made substantial investments in students' safe return to school by providing resources for school-based coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mitigation strategies, including COVID-19 diagnostic testing. However, testing uptake and access among vulnerable children and children with medical complexities remained unclear.

Methods: The Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics Underserved Populations program was established by the National Institutes of Health to implement and evaluate COVID-19 testing programs in underserved populations.

Article Synopsis
  • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention encourages schools to provide on-demand SARS-CoV-2 testing for students and staff showing symptoms or having potential exposures to the virus.
  • A study implemented through a program aimed at underserved populations showed that 7 out of 16 eligible schools offered this diagnostic testing, with nearly 50% of participants testing more than once during the school year.
  • Results indicated that symptomatic testing had a higher positivity rate than exposure testing, and overall, the availability of school-based testing helped save approximately 13,806 school absence days.

A one-step sulfurization method to fabricate NiS nanowires (NiS NWs) directly on a Ni foam (NF) was developed as a simple, low-cost synthesis method for use as a supercapacitor (SC), aimed at optimizing energy storage. NiS NWs have high specific capacity and are considered a promising electrode material for SCs; however, their poor electrical conductivity and low chemical stability limit their applications. In this study, highly hierarchical three-dimensional porous NiS NWs were grown directly on NF by a hydrothermal method.

Forests serve a crucial role in our fight against climate change. Secondary forests provide important potential for conservation of biodiversity and climate change mitigation. In this paper, we explore whether collective property rights in the form of indigenous territories (ITs) lead to higher rates of secondary forest growth in previously deforested areas.

The dormant phenotype of that develops during infection poses a major challenge in disease treatment, since these bacilli show tolerance to front-line drugs. An hypoxia dormancy model was established, which produced phenotypically dormant after prolonged incubation under conditions of low oxygen, low pH, and nutrient limitation. Bacilli in this model displayed the classical dormancy characters, including loss of acid fastness, altered morphology, and, most importantly, tolerance to front-line drugs.

  • Despite recommendations for universal prenatal syphilis screening and effective treatments, syphilis rates in pregnant individuals and cases of congenital syphilis have been on the rise in the U.S.
  • Data from Arizona and Georgia show that pregnant individuals with a congenital syphilis pregnancy outcome have significantly higher rates of substance use (48.1%) compared to those without (24.6%).
  • There's a need for targeted interventions to improve access to syphilis screening and treatment, particularly for pregnant individuals using substances, many of whom had inadequate prenatal care.
